From noteworthy working thread

4258 left Birmingham at 6:25 on the X51

Getting normal to see one on the peak X51s atm, had a few in the past week. Was on that one today meself actually without headphones just to hear the engine scream along the express bit of the A34. Still crap up hills though, pulling away from the Bartons Arms lights was painful.

EDIT
as if to emphasise that point... 4259 Was me bus into town this morning, 07:08 from Tower Hill

@nxwmbusfan1999 Tridents and either type of B7TL are regularly on the 93*s along the Enviro400s. The same with the X51/997

4263 is having it's first day at WA on the 29.

Bit of a waste, was a lovely bus to drive last night, held 40mph all the Way up to Tower Hill last night, although it does have the usual ALX rattles everywhere

4263 was one of our good ones I remember, as well as 4262 and 4300. Has 4262 left PB yet Tony?

Why is it a waste Tony? Atleast its on the road making money on a route.

I am presuming it was empty at the time as you was taking it to WA?
Most of them were very sluggish at pulling away when at BC, most drivers were glad to see the back of them.

I was changing a coach on the 409.

Took 85 there to relieve 89 which was due an inspection. Now some on here would post that as a breakdown, but as far as I could tell there's nothing wrong with 89
